Stranger with a booger...to tell or not to tell?

Question

Let's say you're around some one you don't know - convenience store clerk, grocery store bagger, etc., and you realize they have a booger dangling. Do you tell them? Or do you spare them the embarrassment and hope that the next person will?

Answer 1

Only if there was a box of tissue handy, and you could just give them one without saying anything. Otherwise, I'd let someone else deal with it, or perhaps it would just fall off into the next order.

Answer 2

It would depend, if they were obviously disabled with a supervisor helping them on work experience I would leave it to them.
People handling food with a "booger" dangling would be a health risk. Tell the supervisor to care for his workers better. Sometimes those supermarket store workers are really cruelly treated. My pregnant daughter in law was not permitted to go to toilet when she felt unwell and vomited at the cash register this could easily have been avoided by giving her a job that did not require her to be in one place all the time. You would have to think about it.

Answer 3

Tell them. But let them know as you walk away, that way they can handle it alone.

Answer 4

I always tell people when they have those issues....buger, fly unzipped, gee in their eye, etc. You don't have to be loud when you tell them, but gee whiz, if that was you, would'nt you want someone to tell you?

Answer 5

Tell! Wouldn't you want to know?

Answer 6

dont tell
